5 bed terraced house for sale

Lancaster Road, Canterbury CT1

A very well-presented five-bedroom home situated on a popular road in Wincheap, just a short walk from the city centre. Currently operating as a fully licensed student HMO, this represents an excellent opportunity for those looking to enter the investment market, whether catering to students of professional tenants alike. Equally, it would make a strong addition to an established portfolio, having been exceptionally well maintained by the current owner, helping to attract reliable tenants year after year.

It has been a lucrative investment for the current owner, in the past having achieved £565 per room (including bills). It offers modern, spacious communal areas which enjoy an abundance of natural light. The kitchen is generously proportioned and has a range of high-gloss units, extensive worktop space, and plenty of storage. It benefits from two integrated ovens with hobs and freestanding appliances including a washing machine and large fridge/freezer. There is also counter space creating a breakfast bar for casual dining, making it a practical communal area for housemates.

Accommodation is presented across two floors, with two double bedrooms and a shower room downstairs and three double bedrooms sharing a bathroom upstairs. All bedrooms are good sizes and can comfortably house double beds. Both bathrooms are contemporary, finished in neutral tones with modern tiling throughout. One features a spacious walk-in shower enclosure, while the second offers a full-sized bath with overhead shower, providing flexibility for residents.

Despite its current use as an HMO, the property has largely retained its original layout and could easily be reconfigured back into a spacious family home with minimal alteration, turning the downstairs bedrooms back into reception rooms.

To the rear is a private, enclosed garden offering ample potential for landscaping and for buyers to create their own ideal outdoor space. There is a gate providing alleyway access to the front of the property.

Parking is available on street to the front of the property, with no permit required.
